doc regex: Avoid confusion in relationship with ECMAScript
The prologue led some users to believe the implementation was compliant with ECMAScript let alone some differences (who *are* documented at the end of the page).

b228232de7 Clarify which parts of Kakoune the extra_word_chars option affects.
Also, document the "empty option implies underscore" quirk.

4ae2102cd8 regex.asciidoc: rephrasing, style, consistency
* Polish some grammar in places.
* Correct some capitalization nitpicks.
* Use "newline" rather than "line feed", which tends to be more common
  in Kakoune's documentation thusfar.

I rephrased some sections, as some of them read a little odd.
* Zero width assertions
    * Consistently use "subject's beginning" instead of "subject begin",
      it reads better.
    * Improve the flow of the word boundary descriptions.
* Modifiers
    * Improve phrasing to emphasize the linear nature of their usage and
      remove a double negative.
    * Use `.` instead of "dot", since that aids in searching through the
      page for things talking about the dot character.
* Compatibility
    * Use asciidoc syntax for the link to the ECMA-262 standard.
    * Use better punctuation on the point about escapes.

328c497be2 Add support for named captures to the regex impl and regex highlighter
ECMAScript is adding support for it, and it is a pretty isolated
change to do.

Fixes #2293

4fabba3d12 doc.kak: Render documentation internally instead of relying on man
doc.kak now behaves as a basic asciidoc renderer. Asciidoc is unfortunately
still a dependency to generate the manpage of the `kak` command.

ed65d86c72 Rename doc/manpages to doc/pages
That fact we use man for these is an implementation detail.
